I like to go back and forth between the Finder, Terminal, and TextMate. Also, I miss the ability to select a group of items in a Finder window by some criterium. Today, I installed the Open Terminal Here, Open in TextMate, and Iselect apps into the Finder to let me do just those things. Check 'em out, they cool!
(By the way, to install Iselect, open it up in Script Editor.app and save it as an Application Bundle and select Run Only as the only selected option. Drag the resulting app file to the Finder's toolbar.)

The first two can easily be done with Quicksilver using the keyboard (Command G to select files or a folder, and then invoking the “Open With…” or “Goto Directory in Terminal” actions). Eventually Quicksilver will adapt to your usage so you can select some files, Command G, O, W, T, M, Enter and TextMate pops up with the files open.
Anyways, Iselect is great - thanks for the tip! Its now mapped to a Quicksilver trigger so it can be invoked it via the keyboard. The mouse just slows things down
